Both movies Fifty Shades Darker and the 2015 Fifty Shades Freed, were filmed back-to-back. Filming began on February 9, 2016 and concluded on July 12, 2016.
Donna Langley, chairman of Universal Pictures, said in an interview with Hollywood Reporter in April of 2015, that Fifty Shades Darker would be more of a thriller-type movie than the 2015 Fifty Shades of Grey.
Ooooh. I am actually looking forward to seeing this. I’ve read the books a few times and saw the first movie a couple times, cant wait!
Haven’t seen the movie! Only read the books. 🙂
The movie sounds too creepy for me. I read the books and Christian just grossed me out so I never bothered with the movies.
Me too. The idea that that “relationship” is anything close to romantic is just skeevy. I can’t imagine my daughter wanting a Christian Grey for herself – not without me wanting to kill him, that is.
I probably won’t be seeing this movie… too scandalous for me! Glad you have a post to help all those that will though. Great work!
This is a good breakdown of the movie and those involved with its production – you’ve obviously done your homework. That being said, I can’t like anything to do with the 50 Shades books. I can get behind the idea that other people like different kinds of sexual interaction, and even that the BDSM lifestyle is a popular one chosen with consent among couples who enjoy it … but 50 Shades as a story is NOT traditional BDSM, it is often not portraying a consensual relationship, and it’s downright abusive way more often than it’s anything close to romantic. I won’t be seeing it.
No plans to see the sequel. I saw the first movie when it came out on cable and I didn’t really get the fascination. But then again I get the hype over the books either.
I personally did not want to watch this movie because it is too weird for me. Although, I know a lot of people that loved this movie.
I didn’t see the movie and don’t watch many of them, tbh, but I found this trivia interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve seen the first movie but I’ve never read the books. It’s not something that I’d normally watch out for. The trailer is making me curious though.
wow that is a lot of information! I’m not sure about seeing the second one – the dialogue was so bad in the first oneo
I’ve never read the books but I’ve seen the first movie, it’s interesting as to what happens next. The first one was a little dull. I’m hoping this second installment has more depth.
I saw the first movie with a few of my girlfriends in the theatre… is it awful that we laughed half the entire time?!
Oh wow! I didn’t know they were making this! Now i’m excited to see it!
I couldn’t get with the 1st one. I am sure these will do well as the first one had a big fan base.
I never was able to get into the books or the movie but I am sure it will be a hit because the books and movie have a big following. Christian seems so creepy to me lol
I’ve never seen it or read the books. I know it’s very popular though!
I’ve never actually seen the movie nor read the book as it’s not my cup of tea. but heard a lot of hype about it. I’m sure the fans will appreciate this
I love the Fifty Shades movies and books. I can’t wait to see this one!
The Fifty Shades Darker has been making news lately and the trailer is quiet different and I am not sure if this will go well with my interests. The trivia is good and thanks for sharing more info about the movie!
Hmm this is not my kind of movie at all, too creepy for me 😀
Good Trivia, The 50 Shades darker Movie doesnt sound as fun as the book. Still we shall wait to see the reviews!
I didn’t see the first movie. I’d suck at the trivia! lol It’s fun way to gear up for the next movie. The trailer for the new one is really interesting.
